Power Analysis With SAS: T Tests One Sample T Test How many subjects would you need to have a 95% chance of detect a small, medium, or large effect if you use the traditional .05 criterion of significance and nondirectional hypotheses? proc power; onesamplemeans nullmean=0 mean= .2 .5 .8 stddev=1 power=0.95 ntotal=.; run; Computed N Total Actual N Index Mean Power Total 1 0.2 0.950 327 2 0.5 0.950 54 3 0.8 0.956 23 If you are only able to obtain 25 scores, how much power will you have? proc power; onesamplemeans nullmean=0 mean= .2 .5 .8 stddev=1 power=. ntotal=25; run; Computed Power Index Mean Power 1 0.2 0.161 2 0.5 0.670 3 0.8 0.970 Independent Samples T Tests I want to see how many subjects I need to obtain 95% power for a small effect, a medium effect, and a large effect. I shall employ the usual .05 criterion of statistical significance and nondirectional hypotheses. I intend to have equal sample sizes in the two groups. I also want a plot of power versus sample size for the three effect sizes. proc power; twosamplemeans meandiff= .2 .5 .8 stddev=1 groupweights=(1 1) power=0.95 ntotal=.; plot y=power min=0.5 max=0.99; run; Computed N Total Mean Actual N Index Diff Power Total 1 0.2 0.950 1302
